I don't use a wet to dry flat iron but am using a really nice blow dryer that dries my hair which is to my chest in 20 minutes!! (I like the T3 featherweight) &amp; then use a straightener really quickly over top when I want it extra straight (the T3 straightener) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tried-a-wet-to-dry-flat-iron#post-289484 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 11:41:46 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 289484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It seems like the consensus says it isn't much faster! And I'm going for fast with this baby coming:/ hmph. Thanks ladies! I think I'm a hockey and I'll stick with my blow dryer after all </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tried-a-wet-to-dry-flat-iron#post-289411 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 10:20:03 +0000 wheres_c 289411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have an old Revlon one. I have thin hair and found that it dries/styles my hair faster than using a dryer.<br /> A ton of steam does come from it, and it has burned me once or twice.<br /> I do worry about damage, but have no definitive evidence of it damaging my hair.<br /> I probably use it 4-5 times year. I don't think I'd ever use it on a regular basis nor recommend it to anyone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tried-a-wet-to-dry-flat-iron#post-289395 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 10:10:01 +0000 Alivoo01 289395@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used a cheaper version long time ago and it didn't make drying/flattening time any faster. I also had to replace the straightner every year since the plate coating would go bad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tried-a-wet-to-dry-flat-iron#post-289216 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 08:30:57 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 289216@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had one a couple of years ago and I returned it after one use. It took way too long to get my hair dry and I just felt like I was damaging my hair while using it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tried-a-wet-to-dry-flat-iron#post-289187 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 08:16:37 +0000 regberadaisy 289187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a wet to dry that was reco'd on WB. Chi came up as well but others reco'd a cheaper one. I really like it! For the 3 times I use it in a year. hehe. I'll check tonight on the brand! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tried-a-wet-to-dry-flat-iron#post-289183 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 08:15:47 +0000 hilsy85 289183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used one in college (not a chi brand, a much cheaper revlon brand). I never noticed that it caused significant damage to my hair, but I will say that it took much longer to flat iron it when it was wet vs when it was dry, so the time savings wasn't really that much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tried-a-wet-to-dry-flat-iron#post-289174 Mon, 10 Sep 2012 08:12:20 +0000 blackbird 289174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been told they are damaging to your hair </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tried-a-wet-to-dry-flat-iron#post-288998 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 23:58:39 +0000 banana 288998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, never heard of a wet to dry iron! I have a regular Chi flat iron (which i love love love). The wet to dry sounds kinda damaging to the hair... but then again, maybe it just kinda steams it so it might not be too bad? I'm interested to hear if anyone has tried it! I have naturally wavy hair and I hate flat ironing it. Takes so much effort! Maybe this wet to dry one will work better? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tried-a-wet-to-dry-flat-iron#post-288991 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 23:42:03 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 288991@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anonysquire: oh no no no its a different CHI than the normal flat iron. It's actually a flat iron that is called "wet-to-dry" and is meant to be used on wet hair.<br /> But now I'm looking at all these YouTube videos of it and I see the steam coming from the girls hair and I am thinking that it's probably really damaging and I'm scared:/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tried-a-wet-to-dry-flat-iron#post-288984 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 23:19:15 +0000 anonysquire 288984@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm I have the Chi but I haven't used it wet to dry. I never thought of doing that, would it damage your hair or anything? I usually wash my hair, sleep on it and then flatten it. I hate blow drying too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/anyone-tried-a-wet-to-dry-flat-iron#post-288982 Sun, 09 Sep 2012 23:17:07 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 288982@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am seriously considering the CHI one to save time on blow drying. Anyone tried these? Feel free to recommend a brand if you like yours.<br /> I have to lightly blow dry y hair before flat ironing it and it's just time consuming. I imagine a wet/dry straightener will be equally damaging unfortunately but less time consuming:)<br /> And I use John Frieda's heat protectant (again feel free to recommended a better one if you know of one!) </p>
